Updated as of:
June 30, 2008
 
 
 
  Objective
 
To aim to achieve consistently strong returns relative to the index with a similar risk profile in all market environments
 
  Philosophy
 
Our investment philosophy focuses on striking an appropriate balance between risk and return
 
  Strategy
 
Quantification of major sources of risk and return
Market, style, common factor and security risks are all measured and evaluated
Active management of all potential sources of excess return
Make active portfolio management decisions that reflect our outlook for the return potential of each element
Emphasis on security selection using quantitative and fundamental tools
We believe security selection is the most consistent source of excess returns and it is therefore targeted as the primary source of return
Disciplined approach for identification of attractive securities
Quantitative models are used to identify factors associated with excess returns
Diversification as a means of reducing risks without reducing returns
Limit the impact of market, style and common risk factors
